Once upon a time yoga was viewed as being a just a spiritual meditation rather a workout for your body, now its one of the great exercises to fight cellulite.

In the past if you wanted to burn fat, get the kinks out of your body, lose cellulite or build lean muscle mass the last thing you’d probably think of was a yoga class; and opt for a more strenuous or “serious” exercise.

Had you been aware that yoga not only would sculpt your mind but your body as well, you’d probably have given it a try.

Have I ever done yoga?

No, but the other day as I was trying to find this clothing shop, I began chatting with someone from Bikram Yoga, who filled me in on its amazing benefits including how to fight cellulite through it. So I might just give it a try!

What the Yogi told me:

The ancient art of yoga has long been practiced for hundreds and hundreds of years. The powerful way it will strengthen and supercharge your body can be mind-blowing. Yoga incorporates physical exercises with mental ones. Yoga develops your body’s flexibility, gets out all the kinks from your muscles and spine which increases strength.

Breathing techniques are a crucial component in yoga. As you breathe in and out slowly and deeply throughout your stretches and positions, your muscles are working harder than you’d believe.

The mental health facets of yoga are pretty cool too. When your mind is strong and healthy, it can be a healing aspect for your body as well. Yoga’s mental exercises involve understanding how to calm your mind to remove all thoughts not relating to what is going on in the moment with your body.

You may think you can never achieve the level you see of experienced yoga students when they are practicing their complicated yoga positions, but the yoga teacher told me that gradually and with time, it’s possible to reach that same level. I was assured that by centering your mind and focusing, your body will be able to move into each of the positions.

Your mind’s potential and how it affects your body is extremely powerful and unlimited – yoga allows you to discover the mind-body connection. Once you begin to get into the groove of yoga, you’ll garner the belief in your power to control your body and your body will be that much stronger to fight cellulite. Totally cool right!

Do you want to view your life with a fresh look and a renewed purpose?

As a result of the meditation and exercise involved in yoga, you’ll become more spiritually aware of everyone and everything which in turn creates a healthy balance between your mental point of view and your life.

Yoga allows you to get rid of negative thoughts and emotions turning them into positive and beneficial ones – resulting not only in a healthier mind, but a healthier body.
